Woooooo!

Yup it does!

Element, Beeper, FluffyChat, NeoChat, Cinny, Thunderbird

Yeah as far as I know this still works.

You need to use a valid address (there are sites for generating one)

You also need to use a credit card that has never previously been used in Google with another address

I really tried to like openboard but the way it hides the % key and the location of the / key drove me back to gboard

It always capitalizes Internet for me

It is a consequence of how the networks were physically built when providers thought that cable and download speeds were all anyone needed; it’s not just a software switch they can flip if they wanted to.

This is true of so much of our infrastructure in the US.

Not bandwidth speeds specifically but just aging infrastructure that was built out long ago and not properly maintained and/or updated over time

Here’s an article that mentions it

As a rule of thumb, most adapters with a female USB-C socket on them are non-compliant.

You can also look at the USB spec yourself

USB Type-C receptacle to USB legacy adapters are explicitly not defined or allowed. Such adapters would allow many invalid and potentially unsafe cable connections to be constructed by users.

FYI essentially all adapters with a usb-c female connector are non-compliant.

When people talk about USB-C potentially damaging devices, it is because of non-compliant adapters, chargers, cables, etc.

So just keep in mind that while the risk may be minimal depending on your use-case, these adapters can be dangerous and risk damaging your devices.

Plus it probably still has that mixed fruit juice in it for extra flavor

All good 😊 you had me going for a minute though

GitHub runs a web-based git server at GitHub.org so teams can store their code in a central location on the internet.

Wait… it’s GitHub.org?

I always assumed it was GitHub.com…

Edit: GitHub.org only seems to support HTTP and then it just does a permanent redirect to GitHub.com

A modern Pixel phone could probably run the AI models locally but they would likely be more limited and it wouldn’t be particularly battery-friendly.

An old iPod touch wouldn’t be able to so I think it’s safe to assume those functions were happening on Apple’s servers.

In fact I would be confident claiming that no mobile devices are currently running these models locally, whether you are using Google, Apple, or some other photo app.

Like I said, it may be possible for some modern devices with TPU chips to run them locally but that is not happening currently and would probably not be as good as experience if they were

This is exactly why I was motivated to start using Immich instead. Using any of these corporate services you are giving away your privacy for convenience.

No, this stuff actually requires somewhat heavy ML processing that most phones probably couldn’t do locally.

I think many people don’t consider or overlook the fact that by “necessity” we allow companies like Google/Apple/Facebook full access to our photo libraries for the convenience of these features.

If you have the technical skill to I highly recommend trying out immich. It has all those features you are looking for: face matching, memories, photo maps, object recognition, etc. but those models are run locally (on your self-hosted server) instead of depending on Google/etc so your privacy is protected.

Ah I guess that makes more sense than my assumption haha

I don’t want to keep a knife in my bathroom, but I’m getting to the point where I’ve thought about

Have you considered just not eating peanut butter in the bathroom?

Or open it in the kitchen first.

I like the way AppImages work on my Kubuntu system:

They automatically update themselves in the background and then trigger a system notification letting you know the app will be updated the next time you close it, with a button to initiate it now.

Is Linux a novelty?
